Comments
Buona alternativa se la funivia per il Col Rodella non è in funzione. Buone possibilità di volo in volo quando il forte vento da nord rende impossibili i piacevoli voli termici dagli altri siti locali. Tieni presente che se non agganci la termica l'atterraggio può essere molto difficile, appena sotto è tutto piccolo o in pendenza.
